Question for you 50 years plus folk (and others)?

Sure. I've only got 20-25 good years left anyways and I've gone 26(?) years without one. I just want us to get at least one ring before I or my brain checks out. 

That said...I don't think Tepper will be that guy and I don't think that Tepper will be the owner at that point either. He's no spring chicken.

The "brain checks out" thing is real for some. I think about how I'm only six to seven years out from the age that my late father's early onset dimentia resulting from Alzheimer's became obvious. By 61, he couldn't even appreciate a football game anymore, and he was the main reason I developed a love for the game in the first place.

Yep. There's no guarantee that I've even got that long. I just want to see it at some point.

 50+ years has taught me that the one thing steeler fans, Green Bay fans, patriot fans and other Super Bowl winning franchises, especially Tampa, have in common is that their teams all sucked balls at one time. Sometimes for years or decades.  Those fans didn’t make plays or roster decisions.  They didn’t have a damn thing to do with either success or failure.  But they did the one thing they could, they stayed fans.  Watching our fans stay in the rain as we got clobbered at the end of our 1-15 season was “almost” as cool as marching to Jax stadium on opening day with the Roaring Riot and hundreds of other memories.  Winning is sweet, but making memories is sweeter. Keep Pounding.

    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
    • Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
